The National Monuments Service's description
On a level, low-lying landscape. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 34.8m N-S; 29.3m E-W) defined by an earthen bank with some scrub (Wth 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1-1.3m) which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.9m) NW-E, and an outer fosse (Wth of base 2m; D 0.2m) SSE-W-NE, the line of which is followed by a band of lush vegetation elsewhere. There is no identifiable original entrance.
